ach day, assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) makes a difference in the lives of the proud men and women who live, work, and raise their families in rural Amer-ica. USDA supports the housing, community facilities, busi-nesses, infrastructure, and renewable energy investments that

help to make rural America a place of opportunity, innovation, and economic growth.

Over the past 5 years, the Obama Administration and USDA have worked tirelessly to bolster economic development in our rural communities. In fiscal year 2013 alone, USDA’s Rural Development provided more than $33.3 billion in assistance through its more than 40 loan, grant, and technical assistance programs. The 2014 Farm Bill brings renewed support for community economic development, including financing for investments in broadband, telecommunications, distance learning and telemedicine, entrepreneurship, and business development and growth.

I am pleased to share with you the 2013 Rural Development Progress Report, which highlights how our investments have helped rural Americans finance new homes, business growth, and economic development over the past year. In this report, you will learn about projects like the “Soldiers to Civilians Project,” a new program in rural west Tennessee, funded in part by USDA, that give local veterans the training and skills they need to get jobs in the field of precision agriculture.

The stories in this report help illustrate how USDA Rural Development programs provide key support in the rural economy and how they make meaningful, lasting investments in rural communities. The men and women entrepreneurs, including returning veterans, who operate small businesses in rural communities help support a healthy and thriving rural economy that benefits all Americans—no matter where they live.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. VilsackSecretary of Agriculture

trong rural communities are the key to a stronger America.” With this statement, President Barack Obama captured the core mission of USDA Rural Development. To make good on that commitment, the President and Secretary Vilsack have charged our Mission Area to help rural America prepare for the global

challenges of the 21st century. These challenges include feeding billions of people, addressing climate change and producing energy from new sources, making investments in rural America, and strengthening the Nation’s overall economy.

With a portfolio of more than $193 billion in loans and loan guarantees, USDA Rural Development is making lasting investments in rural communities through investments in core community infrastructure, such as developing or building: improved telecommunications services; clean water supplies; safe, affordable housing; hospitals, clinics and schools, and providing the technical assistance and financing for business creation and expansion.

Today, we are strengthening rural America not only by helping individual communities’ define their strengths and opportunities, but also by developing regional strategies and forging new strategic partners so that one community or program can complement and draw upon the resources of another to create jobs and strengthen economies. We are working directly with local governments, economic development districts, and community-based organizations to help strengthen regional collaboration and create opportunities for new jobs across rural regions.

Our goal is to provide rural communities with sensible economic growth opportunities that are durable, strategic, and centered on creating long-term prosperity. For example, Rural Development is a key agent in USDA’s Strike Force for Rural Growth and Opportunity initiative, an effort to increase coordination and leverage partnerships in rural areas of concentrated poverty to ensure that every community has equal access to USDA programs. The Strike Force initiative has been instrumental in targeting assistance to American Indian and Alaska Native communities and is being extended now to the Appalachian Region.

Rural Development’s capacity and priorities support President Obama’s vision of an America that provides for the economic well-being of all Americans, offering opportunities for innovation and growth. What urban America needs, rural America has in abundance: energy, food, and a strong manufacturing base.

Despite the fiscal challenges that USDA faced in 2013, USDA Rural Development invested more than $33.3 billion for a variety of rural housing, business, community development, and infrastructure projects in fiscal year 2013. USDA is the only Federal Department with the primary mission of serving rural areas, and USDA Rural Development has a field office structure in every State that helps us target and serve local communities' specific needs.

The personal relationships that our employees have with local community leaders have allowed us to deliver our programs with great success. I am proud of our employees’ service to rural America, proud of our achievements, and pleased to share many of the individual stories of how our programs have touched the lives of so many rural people over the course of the year.

At USDA Rural Development, we look forward to continuing our mission and continuing to contribute our resources toward helping rural Americans and their communities thrive in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Virginia. Through StrikeForce, USDA Rural Development is doing more to partner with local and State governments and community organizations on projects that will help to alleviate poverty through economic development and job creation.

One key area where Rural Development has been successful in using the Strike Force initiative to deliver assistance is in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, where tribal residents have unique challenges and needs, but have also experienced difficulty obtaining help through Federal programs.

n March 2013, USDA launched its "Strike-Force for Rural Growth and Opportunity" ini-tiative in 10 additional

States. StrikeForce started in 2010 as a pilot project in selected regions in Arkansas, Georgia, and Mississippi. The primary goal of the StrikeForce initiative is to address persistent poverty by increasing part-nerships with rural communities and leveraging community resources in underserved areas.

StrikeForce was expanded in 2011 to include Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. The additional States added in 2013 are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and

StrikeForce Expansion Increases Economic Growth in Underserved Areas

At the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff's Agriculture Demonstration Outreach Center, representatives Leon Ellis, Ernest Bradley, and Iris Crosby discuss the operation of a purple hull pea processing equipment the Arkansas Delta Seeds of Change (ADSOC) purchased with a USDA Rural Development Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) on March 5, 2013. USDA, in partnership with international aid organization Heifer Interna-tional and various for-profit and non-profit organizations, put in motion the “Seeds of Change Implementation Plan” to use sus-tainable agriculture to build food systems in the Arkansas Delta. The program has evolved into the ADSOC Initiative, which assists producers with technical assistance for crop production, man-agement, harvesting, food security, value added products and marketing options and provides access to specialized production and marketing equipment.

Business owner Laurie Jo Bennett shows off some of her new canned produce in her store in Norman Park, Colquitt County, GA. Colquitt County is designated as a StrikeForce area. Bennett secured a USDA Rural Development Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) to help market the products of her business, Laurie Jo’s Southern Style Canning. Consumers may now purchase Laurie Jo’s products in Whole Foods, Earth Fare, and Kroger stores across 20 States. The USDA grant has enabled Laurie Jo's to employ 26 people.

ince the start of the Obama Ad-ministration in 2009, USDA Rural Development’s Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) has provided more than 18,300 guaran-

teed loans, direct loans, and grants to help more than 74,000 businesses create or save more than 375,000 jobs and saved or generated an estimated 9.8 million megawatt hours of energy. Cumula-tively, the agency has provided about $9 billion in assistance since 2009 to support business develop-ment, invest in renewable energy projects, and spur job creation and economic development in rural areas. The following are highlights of how RBS helped meet the financial and energy-related needs of rural America in 2013.

Missouri Biomass Firm Receives $500,000 for Field-to-Furnace SolutionIIn October 2012, Columbia Water and Light, the utility company in Columbia, Missouri, conducted a test firing at the municipal coal power plant us-ing miscanthus (grass) pellets. Although the pel-lets mixed well with coal, dust from the handling system degraded the pellets. Additionally, pellets stored outdoors became unusable when water seeped through protective covers.Enginuity Worldwide, a biofuels company based in Columbia, MO, has solved many of the prob-lems associated with miscanthus pellet use, such as those that Columbia Water and Light encountered during its test, with a pellet that is 97 percent durable and water-resistant. Using a trademarked process called eCARB™, Enginu-ity’s pellet is shaped and sized to work well when mixed with coal and requires only minimal retro-fits to plant handling systems. Another benefit is that the pellet is produced from renewable feed-stocks, such as corn stover and switchgrass, which represents a possible value-added opportunity for Missouri farmers to increase the revenue they derive from their croplands.

USDA provided Enginuity with a $500,000 Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant that will be used, along with private funding, to help the company develop a solid biomass fuel production facility. REAP is a USDA loan

Sguarantee and grant program available to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements. The company plans to use this grant to produce eCARB™-engineered fuel for testing and market commercialization. Upon completion, the project is expected to produce 18,000 tons of biomass fuel per year that will be sold to municipal utilities for electric power generation and to create 20 new jobs in central Missouri.

Enginuity’s eCARB™ technology potentially could extend the life of existing coal-fired plants by providing an alternative means to comply with new emission standards. The technology will also help farmers produce home-grown renewable energy from their fields and increase their income.

USDA Increases Employment Prospects for Disabled People in Wisconsin

In October 2013, Easter Seals Wisconsin received a $50,000 Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) that will be used over a 2-year period to provide technical assistance to people with disabilities. The grant will help create additional employment opportunities and improve economic conditions in a 14-county area in northeast Wisconsin. Some people with disabilities have started businesses in the area such as restaurants, construction companies, automotive repair shops, and painting companies that are providing jobs for additional members of the community.

“This award will help us meet the ever-increasing demand for technical assistance for business development by entrepreneurs with disabilities,” said Christine Fessler, Easter Seals Wisconsin’s president and chief executive officer. “We look forward to this opportunity to empower people to achieve full economic participation in their rural communities.”

Easter Seals Wisconsin is one of 25 organizations nationwide, and the only one in Wisconsin, that received 2013 Rural Business Opportunity Grant funds. The RBOG program promotes sustainable economic development in rural communities that have exceptional needs, due to poverty, job losses, or other circumstances, through business development, economic development planning, and training.

Business and Industry (B&I) Loan Guarantee Helps Startup Biobased CompanyLaurel Biocomposites, LLC, a Nebraska company that started in 2007, wanted to become the first company in the United States to produce new “green” products for use in the plastics industry. The company converts distillers’ grain, an ethanol byproduct, into its trademarked Bio-Res™ pel-let and powder products that can replace and/or enhance petrochemical-based resins tradition-ally used in plastics manufacturing. The company needed funds to purchase equipment and startup capital to begin operations.

USDA partnered with the Security Bank in Laurel to provide a $5 million B&I loan guarantee that helped the company purchase the equipment it needed and provide working capital for the first year of operation. The company also received outside funds to support the project.

Today, Laurel Biocomposites is operating one production line and is expected to begin full-scale production in 2014, which will increase its annual capacity to 48 million pounds of finished bio-resin product. Currently, there are seven workers at the plant in Laurel. When full-scale production begins, the company plans to have 13 to 15 workers on the plant floor. The company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house in September 2013 to celebrate its achievements.

USDA Partners With Service Organi-zations To Help Veterans Find Agri-culture CareersVeterans returning home from over-seas tours-of-duty face many chal-lenges as they readjust to civilian life, and one of the most daunting ones is finding employment. In 2012, a new program — the Soldiers to Civilians (S2C) Project — was started in rural west Tennessee to give local veterans the training and skills they need to enter into the field of precision agri-culture.

"Precision agriculture" is a farm management process where producers use advanced technologies such as satellites and the Global Positioning System to pinpoint, measure, and respond to inter- and intra-field variability in their crops. Precision agriculture helps producers save money because they can target inputs such as nutrients and fertilizer only to those sections that need them. It also helps producers practice sustainable agriculture and protect the environment through the reduced, targeted inputs.

Thanks to grant assistance from USDA, project leaders will now be able to expand the S2C program beyond west Tennessee to help even more veterans in the rural delta areas of east Arkansas and west Mississippi. The expansion was funded, in part, through USDA’s Rural Business Enterprise Grant program,

USDA Rural Development Progress Report 2013USDA Rural Development Progress Report 2013USDA Rural Development Progress Report 2013 98

which promotes development of small and emerging businesses in rural areas. The S2C project was the idea of Tennessee’s Crockett Policy Institute. The grant recipient, the Memphis Bioworks Foundation, has teamed with the Institute on the S2C project and the grant that will enable S2C to expand into 110 more counties.

Veterans are excellent candidates for precision agriculture because their military training exposes them to similar advanced technology systems.

Value-Added Producer Grants Support Local and Regional Food ProjectsValue-Added Producer Grants (VAPGs) are an important element of USDA's “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” initiative, which coordinates USDA's work to support local and regional food systems. In 2013, USDA’s VAPG program funded an array of projects involving lo-cally produced and marketed foods. The foods include cheese, reduced-cholesterol dairy products, produce, packaged poul-try, and pork and beef products, as well as a variety of processed or prepared foods from locally grown fruits and vegetables.

For example, the Wisconsin Food Hub Cooperative in Madison, WI, will use a $150,000 VAPG as working capital to help start a regional fresh produce food hub and packinghouse to improve producers’ access to wholesale markets in the local farm economy and create private-sector jobs. The food hub will aggregate local produce sold under the "Wisconsin Farmed" brand.

Food hubs are broadly defined as facilities that manage, aggregate, store, process, distribute, or market locally and regionally produced food.

Assisting Rural Cooperatives in MinnesotaRBS awarded Minnesota’s Agricultural Utiliza-tion Research Institute (AURI) with a $68,300

Rural Cooperative Development Grant (RCDG) in 2013 so AURI could help develop additional rural cooperatives in the State. The work will build on AURI’s previous efforts to assist and develop cooperatives through the RCDG program.

AURI will use the 2013 RCDG grant to provide applied research, scientific assistance, project facilitation, marketing, and economic feasibility and organizational development services to new or existing cooperatives for local foods marketing and distribution, dairy processing, livestock feed processing, food processing, and renewable energy.

he Rural Housing Service (RHS) finances new or improved single- and multi-family housing for individuals and families in rural communities. In 2013, more than

7,100 families became single-family homeowners through direct loans from RHS totaling $827.1 million. Under the single-family guaranteed loan program, more than 162,900 families were able to buy or keep their homes through loans totaling $22.3 billion. All told, in 2013, the agency invested more than $23.4 billion in direct loans, guaranteed loans, grants, and technical assistance to provide affordable, safe housing for rural families. In both people and dollars, Fiscal Year 2013 was the most successful year on record in the 63-year history of USDA’s single-family housing programs. These programs serve the most people and provide the most funds in rural America of any USDA Rural Development program. Since the agency made its first housing loan in 1950, more than 3.69 million rural people have received housing assistance, for a total of nearly $205 billion, through the single-family programs.

In 2013, RHS's multi-family housing programs served more than 523,000 families in more than 1,600 apartment developments across America. Through the agency’s multi-family housing programs, rental assistance subsidy, which helps low-income tenants afford their rent payments, currently is provided to almost 280,000 low-income residents throughout rural America. RHS also provides a rent subsidy housing voucher to more than 3,500 families that enables them to remain in affordable housing even after the property is no longer financed by USDA.

RHS also helps rural communities finance, construct, enlarge, or improve schools, fire stations, libraries, hospitals and medical clinics, industrial parks, and many other community facilities. The agency invested more than $1.4 billion in direct loans, guaranteed loans, and grants for more than 1,000 community infrastructure projects and essential rural community facilities in Fiscal Year 2013.

TRural Housing Service Builds a Better Future

for Rural Communities

The newly completed Mohegan Tribe Community Center and Government building in Uncasville, CT, was made possible by a USDA Rural Development Community Facility loan. The new 160,000-square-foot facility allows the tribal government to better administer health, housing and social programs. It also hosts an exhibit celebrating Federal recognition of the tribe and the history of Mohegan chiefs, a new library, an arts and crafts room, a gymnasium, and a community room.

these, the agency participated in 181 public-private partnerships, which is in direct support of the White House’s “We Can’t Wait Initiative,” and an all-time record for the community facilities program.

USDA Overhauls Single Family Housing Guaran-teed Loan Program

In December 2013, USDA announced changes to RHS's loan guarantee program to strengthen rural housing markets, increase the availability of rural home loans, and spur new home construction. The changes take effect September 1, 2014, and include:

• Increased lender eligibility. Any lender supervised and regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Reserve Banks, or the Federal Housing Finance Board may underwrite loans. This will enable many small community banks and credit unions, which are currently ineligible, to participate in the program.

• Construction-to-permanent financing. This new feature will encourage new construction in rural areas by providing loan guarantees when construction begins. The former regulation permitted only “take-out” financing once construction was completed. The new “construction-to-perm” feature, also known in the mortgage industry as “single close” financing, encourages homebuilders, lenders, and borrowers in rural areas to build new homes.

The changes will help create jobs, enable more people to participate in the program, add significant capital to rural areas, and give people more opportunities to make financial decisions that lead to greater future prosperity. The changes will also make housing loans more available in underserved communities, such as those targeted by USDA's StrikeForce initiative to help alleviate rural poverty.

to worthy organizations to construct 16 farm labor housing properties with 538 units to pro-vide clean, safe, affordable apartments to rural farm labor residents. Finally, RHS also provided almost $1.12 billion in rental assistance in 2013 to help more than 280,000 very low-income tenants living in apartments financed by USDA Rural Development afford their rent payments. The total amount of multi-family housing assistance provided in 2013 was over $1.23 billion in direct

loans, guarantees, grants, and rental assistance. Cumulatively, RHS funds supported construc-tion or improvement of more than 5,000 units of multi-family housing in 2013.

Today, more than 440,000 rental units in almost 14,900 developments across the country are financed through USDA multi-family housing direct loan programs, providing clean and adequate apartment-style housing for more than 682,000 people who otherwise could not afford it. Nearly half of RHS’s multi-family direct loan housing portfolio provides shelter for elderly residents, giving them the opportunity to live in dignity in their own communities. About 71 percent of these tenants are single people who are heads of households, and 59 percent are elderly or disabled. The average annual income of tenants in USDA direct loan-financed

developments is about $12,000.

tribe since the program began in 1974. It will serve eight tribal communities in rural Mississippi and Tennessee.

The center will provide access to care, treatment for diabetes and obesity, nutrition education, and programs to address the lack of exercise, which is of particular concern in tribal communities. It will also offer an expanded suite of programs to address mental health and substance abuse.

Demand for dental services has outgrown the existing facility's capacity, resulting in long delays for appointments. In some cases, this has led to neglect in dental care due to the delay and inconvenience. The new health center will reduce wait times for dental patients. Most importantly, however, it will improve care for the tribe's highly revered elder population.

The center will save 317 existing health care jobs, will create 240 jobs during construction, and will lead to the creation of an additional 90 jobs by 2020.

USDA Provides More Than $1.23 Billion in Multi-Family Housing AssistanceIn 2013, RHS provided more than $50.1 million in multi-family housing direct loan assistance to help developers construct or improve more than 1,300 units of apartment-style housing in rural areas. The agency also provided more than $52.2 million in guarantees to back loans made by participating private-sector lenders to construct or rehabilitate more than 2,060 units of multi-family housing. Additionally, RHS awarded more than $12.67 million in Farm Labor Housing loans and grants

RHS Expands Refinancing Program To Help More Rural HomeownersIn January 2013, USDA announced plans to add 15 more States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to a pilot pro-gram that enables current USDA home loan bor-rowers to save money on housing by refinancing their mortgages with lower interest rates.

Expansion of this program will help more rural borrowers reduce their monthly payments and ease their financial burdens. As our economy continues to recover, this program will enable rural families with USDA-financed homes to take advantage of historically low interest rates.

The initiative, unveiled in 2012, initially included borrowers in 19 States hit the hardest by the downturn in the housing market. To date, almost 4,000 rural borrowers have benefited from the refinancing program. The loans in the refinancing pilot program portfolio total nearly $453 million.

The pilot expands ongoing efforts to help rural homeowners holding loans made or guaranteed by USDA. In 2010, USDA established an aggressive guaranteed loan modification policy to help homeowners who are delinquent on their mortgages. These homeowners can lower their monthly payments through a loan modification that reschedules the payments over a term of up to 40 years, lowers the interest rate, or both. RHS also has a "Mortgage Recovery

Advance" program that provides guaranteed lenders up to 12 months of mortgage payments on behalf of borrowers who have fallen behind on payment due to job loss or other hardships.

The refinancing pilot is being expanded to include Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico. These States have a high proportion of counties with persistent poverty rates of at least 20 percent in each of the last four U.S. censuses. Puerto Rico has had a poverty rate of at least 45 percent in recent years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

New Health Care Facility for Mississippi Band of Choctaw IndiansIn September 2013, the Mississippi Band of Choc-taw Indians broke ground on its new, $55 million Choctaw Health Center, funded through a part-nership between USDA, the Department of Health and Human Services, and private sector lenders. RHS Community Facilities staff facilitated the partnership to support the tribal leaders’ efforts to replace their existing health care facility, which is outmoded and no longer meets patients’ needs. The new center is the largest Community Facilities investment made on behalf of a Native American

n Fiscal Year 2013, USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) provided more than $305 million to provide new or im-proved broadband service in rural

areas, including remote, underserved locales. The funds will result in new or upgraded broad-band service for about 120,000 rural households, businesses, and community institutions once the projects are completed. In today’s economy, high-speed broadband access is as vital to the eco-nomic fortunes of rural America as RUS’s original mission to provide electricity to rural America was in the 1930s and '40s.

In 2013, RUS provided more than $1.3 billion in loan and grant assistance for water and/or waste disposal system improvements in rural communities. RUS also provided more than $4.9 billion in electric loans to electric utilities in rural America to meet the power needs of 8.7 million customers served and enable the utilities to support and enhance the rural electric grid.

Recovery Act-Funded Wireless Internet for Okla-homa’s Choctaw NationThe Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma is rich in cul-tural pride, identity, and history, but its remote location has severely limited the Tribe’s economic development opportunities. Pine Telephone Company (PTC) was awarded a Broadband Ini-tiatives Program grant, made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, so that the company can deliver affordable broad-band service to portions of this rural, remote and economically disadvantaged region in southeast Oklahoma.

During World War II, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma aided the U.S. military through “Code Talking” — relaying messages for the military using the native Choctaw language — to prevent enemy forces from intercepting military secrets. The Choctaw Nation was recognized for its patriotism again in 2008, when the Secretary of Defense awarded the tribe the Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest recognition to employers that support their workers who are serving in the National Guard and Reserve.

Despite the Choctaw Nation’s record of service on behalf of the nation, the local economies of Choctaw communities have suffered. The five counties on tribal lands that will be served by Pine Telephone all have unemployment rates that soar above the State average, and a substantial proportion of residents are living below the poverty line.

PTC spent years testing broadband technologies that would offer reliable Internet service to residents of this remote region and determined that advanced 3G wireless technology presented the most viable solution. The system, designed to be scalable and cost-effective, will accommodate technology upgrades for years to come.

PTC’s system will serve nearly 5,000 households, 10 school districts, and 12 volunteer fire departments and ambulance services. With reliable, high-speed wireless access, the region will be able to overcome geographic isolation to stimulate the sustainable economic growth that it needs. Offering quality Internet access to key community institutions, like schools and public safety bodies, will mean better educational opportunities, enhanced health care, and public safety for residents.

In addition to these benefits for Choctaw Nation members, the project has created more than 150 jobs over the multi-year construction period. Most of the project was completed by the end of 2013.

South Carolina Water and Sewer Company Con-structs New Plant and Distribution SystemUSDA has a long-standing partnership with the Breezy Hill Water and Sewer Company in Gran-iteville, South Carolina. Since 1968, USDA has provided more than $5.4 million in loans to help the utility build, improve, and expand its water system. Breezy Hill’s system has about 225 miles of distribution pipes, 12 water storage tanks, and 13 wells.

The Breezy Hill water district is located in Aiken County, part of the old “textile belt.” Since the 1990s, county leaders have been working to attract more business and manufacturers to the area due to the loss of textile plants and jobs. The county built an industrial park in 1993 within

Breezy Hill’s water district that is bringing jobs to the area. For example, Bridgestone/Firestone built a 500-acre facility and plant there in 1995 that brought 600 jobs to the area and still operates today.

In 2009, Breezy Hill applied through the Recovery Act for additional assistance from USDA to construct a new water plant and build a major high-service distribution line as the backbone of the water distribution system. USDA provided the utility with a Recovery Act loan for more than $7.1 million and a grant of more than $1.9 million. The new plant started operations in August 2013. It has sufficient capacity to ensure that Breezy Hill will be able to meet customers’ water needs well into the future.

Additionally, the water treatment plant produces 4.7 million gallons of water each day, making it possible for companies like Bridgestone Corporation to expand. Bridgestone invested $1.2 billion in a project to expand its existing facility and build a new one in the county industrial park. The new facilities opened in 2012 and brought 850 new jobs to the area. Construction of a new parkway is expected to bring even more growth to the Breezy Hill community. MTU Detroit Diesel is also building a manufacturing facility in the industrial park that will provide 100 more new jobs. Breezy Hill Water and Sewer officials are reaching out to several other manufacturers interested in relocating to the area about their water needs, and they hope to attract even more business and jobs to the area.

Community Connect Program Improves Broad-band Access, Public Safety in Rural OhioBroadband service in Stafford, Ohio was slow and unreliable. Only available via satellite, the connection speed depended on the weather. On cloudy days, there often was no Internet access at all. Slow connection speeds meant that local business owners and residents were unable to work with large data sets, high resolution im-ages, or anything else requiring high bandwidth for access.

In 2011, Crystal Broadband Networks,

Inc., received a Community Connect Grant for $570,800 to provide high-speed broadband in Stafford. One of the key purposes of the grant was to allow faster emergency response in the town, which frequently experiences severe weather.

The town’s new Community Connect Center opened for business in the summer of 2013. The center provides residents with new computers with high-speed broadband access. Service is free for the next 2 years.

The new broadband network built by Crystal Broadband has significantly improved the quality of life in the community. For example, Stafford resident Levi Morris attends law school in Philadelphia and spends his summer breaks at home. Previously, when his school presented him with an opportunity to work on a law project over the summer, the slow Internet connection made the work difficult. Now, he can use the Community Center computers and the faster broadband connection to easily complete his assignments.

To address Stafford’s issues with severe weather, Crystal Broadband has included technology that allows town officials to send and receive virtual, real-time severe weather warnings, which will help improve response times during emergencies. Free Internet service is being provided to the town’s volunteer fire department for the next 2 years.

Businesses in Stafford have been given a tremendous boost by the new broadband connection. It will help protect residents’ health and safety as well as increase family members’ ability to stay connected.

was created with villages like Stafford – and people like Levi – in mind,” Rural Development Deputy Under Secretary Doug O’Brien said at the Community Center grand opening. “This is the modern-day equivalent of what rural electric service meant to our grandparents: impacting health and safety, enhancing local economies, and connecting loved ones through technology.”

Energy Efficiency Program Will Lower Costs for Consumers, Reduce Greenhouse Gas EmissionsIn December 2013, USDA announced new steps to help consumers save money on their energy bills in partnership with rural electric coopera-tives. RUS will provide rural electric coopera-tives up to $250 million to lend to business and residential customers for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems.

By promoting energy savings in rural areas, the Energy Efficiency and Loan Conservation Program is another way that USDA is supporting President Obama's Climate Action Plan. The program will help build a cleaner and more sustainable domestic energy sector for future generations by reducing barriers to investment in energy efficiency — potentially cutting people's energy bills in the process.

Funding will be provided to rural electric cooperatives and utilities – most of which already have energy efficiency programs in place – that will then re-lend the money to help homeowners or businesses make energy efficiency improvements. The loans may be used for energy audits; upgrades to heating, lighting, and insulation; and conversions to more efficient or renewable energy sources.

USDA Announces Completion of 500th Recovery Act Water ProjectIn August 2013, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-sack announced completion of the 500th water and wastewater project funded under the Ameri-can Recovery and Reinvestment Act. To date, the Recovery Act has brought improved water and wastewater services to nearly 1.7 million rural residents. These projects have created jobs, stimulated local economies, and helped ensure

that rural communities have the modern, up-to-date infrastructure they need to continue being great places in which to live and work.

The Ozark Mountain Regional Public Water Authority Treatment Plant in Lead Hill, AR, received $62 million in Recovery Act funds to construct 120 miles of water pipeline, nine pumping stations, and six elevated water tanks in rural northwest Arkansas. The recently completed project is the culmination of years of work to address the insufficient quantity of water and poor quality of groundwater supplies in this part of the State. The counties served by the new water system consistently rank among the poorest in the region.

USDA Finances Virginia’s First Large-Scale Bio-mass Electricity Plant

In November 2013, USDA celebrated a historic energy landmark in southern Virginia: the startup of a new 49.9 megawatt renewable energy plant. USDA, in partnership with the Manassas-based Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) and NOVI Energy, helped to finance this first such large-scale endeavor in the State to produce electricity using biomass.

The November ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour of the facility capped off 2 years of construction to complete the facility. The Rural Utilities Service provided a $90 million, long-term loan for the plant. The total cost of the project is about $178 million.

The new plant is located on a 104-acre site in the Halifax County Industrial Park in southern Virginia and will produce electricity using waste wood fuel that is renewable. "Reclaimed water" from the local water authority will be used to cool the plant. The power produced at the new plant is expected to meet approximately 6 percent of NOVEC’s future wholesale power needs from 2014 through 2030. By using wood chips as fuel, the plant will provide enough electricity to power about 16,000 area homes. The new plant will also provide a renewable energy source for its consumers, and it supports the State’s cooperative efforts to meet the Virginia renewable energy goal of 15 percent by 2025. The new facility, along with the timber reclamation work to furnish waste wood for the plant, is expected to provide more than 60 new full-time jobs in the region.

he impact of USDA Rural Develop-ment's programs is visible in almost any rural community in California. The following stories illustrate the ways that the agency helped ru-

ral residents and community leaders through its housing, business, cooperative, community, and infrastructure development programs in 2013.

USDA Helps Latino Family Becomes First-Time HomeownersWhen Juan Reyes Guerrero and Fanny Montoya received a notice from the Monterey County Housing Authority that their income was too high to stay in their apartment complex in Castroville, it was bittersweet. For the past 16 years, the fam-ily had called the Paseo de Las Rosas apartments home. The 48-unit complex offered the couple's three children a safe, stable environment in which to grow up.

Although the family was sad to leave, the change helped them achieve a dream they had never thought possible – homeownership. Guerrero and Montoya worked with American Pacific Mortgage Corporation to apply for Rural Development's home loan guarantee program, which finances homes for low- to moderate-income families. They were approved, and in March 2013 the family moved into their new home in nearby Salinas.

USDA and Partners Rebuild a Harbor To Preserve a Local EconomyRural Development's programs often have the greatest impact when USDA funds are leveraged with outside sources. The Crescent City harbor on California's northern coast — a major commercial fishing port vital to the local economy — was de-stroyed by a tsunami in 2011. The needed repairs

able to obtain a little over $50 million in grants from Federal, State, and local sources. Rural Development provided the remaining balance of more than $5.4 million through the Community Facilities loan program that finances essential community facilities in rural areas.

California's Rural Community Assistance Corporation provided the district with short-term financing and a revolving line of credit to pay workers. Harbor repairs began in July 2012 and are expected to be complete in early 2014. In the meantime, about 250 construction jobs were created, bringing a much needed boom to the local economy.

USDA Helps Women Farmer Cooperative Increase BusinessIn Pauma Valley in San Diego County, USDA Rural Development is helping the Bahati Mamas Cooperative. The co-op members are 11 Bantu women farmers who are refugees from Somalia. After relocating in the United States, the women formed a cooperative and began working with the International Rescue Committee and Califor-nia Center for Cooperative Development (CCCD) for support with their project. Rural Development provided a Small Socially Disadvantaged Produc-er Grant to CCCD for more than $113,000, part of which is helping the Bahati Mamas market and sell their crops. In their native language, "bahati" means lucky. The members of the co-op are very pleased to have the chance to farm again.

USDA Helps Community Relocate to Safe HousingIn 2009, a Federal judge ordered the "Duroville" trailer park on the Torres-Martinez Indian reser-vation to shut down because of hazardous con-ditions. The park had dilapidated trailers, poor infrastructure, and debris-filled streets where feral dogs roamed. Before the park could close,

improvements to the streets surrounding the park.Mountain View Estates was developed in

phases. The first families arrived in November 2012, and the last group was welcomed in May 2013.

Today, these families are enjoying basic amenities such as water and sewer systems, electrical service, and paved streets. The park also includes a community center, laundry facilities, a playground, and athletic fields. For the first time, kids can play outside without fearing dog attacks, and their parents can rest easy knowing that they are safe.

USDA Helps Bring High-Speed Broadband to Rural CaliforniaThe Softcom Internet Communications company had provided dial-up Internet service to southern Sacramento and San Joaquin Counties for more than 20 years. As technology advanced, how-ever, many customers switched to other provid-ers for high-speed Internet service. Because of reductions in subscribers, Softcom was unable to qualify for conventional loan financing to up-grade its systems and offer broadband.

USDA Rural Development was able to help the company modernize through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Broadband Initiatives Program. Softcom received a loan for more than $1.6 million and a grant of more than $5 million to upgrade its infrastructure and deploy wireless Internet equipment throughout its almost 400-square-mile service area.

The project was completed in July 2013. Today, about 6,000 homes, 4,300 businesses, and 5 essential community institutions have access to enhanced high-speed Internet. Due to increased demand, Softcom has hired 10 new employees. Local businesses are also benefiting from better broadband service at a much lower cost. Additionally, broadband service has improved local law enforcement's ability to respond to emergency situations.

The project has had indirect benefits too. The City of Galt agreed to let Softcom place some of its wireless equipment on the city water tower. Galt is using lease payments from Softcom for use of the space to provide grants to help local nonprofits.

however, residents needed to find safe housing elsewhere.

USDA Rural Development helped finance the infrastructure for Mountain View Estates, a new 181-lot mobile home park in Oasis, California, about 6 miles away, for the former residents of Duroville. The Coachella Valley Water District received $6 million in Rural Development water and wastewater grants to extend water and sewer service into the park, and Riverside County received $700,000 through the agency's Rural Business Enterprise Grant program, which helps support small and emerging rural businesses, for

fter serving in the military and coming home to raise his nieces and nephews, 90-year-old Hatcher B. Horton is finally enjoying the peace and quiet of a home of his

own. Horton arrived at the USDA Rural Develop-ment office in Lufkin, Texas, with an application to purchase a home just down the street from his family residence.

Horton was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943 during World War II and was stationed in India with the 4024th Airborne Unit as a truck driver. While in the service, he helped his grandmother purchase a home in Center, TX. After his honorable discharge in 1946, he went home to resume civilian life. His grandmother was raising nine grandchildren despite a serious illness. She passed away soon after he came home, and he assumed the responsibility of raising his nieces and nephews.

Horton had been living in the family home with one of his nieces, but had always wanted a home of his own. He applied for assistance through the Single-Family Housing Direct Loan Program. These loans are primarily used to help low-income individuals or households purchase homes in rural areas. Funds can be used to build, repair, renovate or relocate a home, or to purchase and prepare sites, including water and sewage facilities.

Just down the street from the Horton family home was a property owned by USDA Rural Development. Horton contacted the real estate agent handling the listing and provided the Lufkin office with a contract on the property. Staff there quickly had the property inspected to ensure that it was qualified for financing and identified items needing repairs. Once funding was available, his loan closed in April 2013.

Today, Horton is spending his nights in his very own home. He is grateful for the opportunity to live close to his family and to be able to easily

USDA Supports Local Economic Development Through Intermediary Relending ProgramLocal lenders in Eden, TX, were reluctant to pro-vide capital for a new startup textile company, Leggett Tactical (LT) Solutions. Two brothers, Blake and Bryce Leggett, started the company to provide high-quality personal protection acces-sories for military personnel, such as bulletproof vests, and tactical accessories such as vests, pouches, uniforms, and weapon holsters.

Rural Development provided an Intermediary Relending Program loan to the Eden Economic Development Corporation in 2005. These funds are provided to intermediaries which, in turn, re-lend the funds to local small businesses to provide them with capital for business development. The Eden Economic Development Corporation used the funds to provide LT Solutions with working capital to purchase equipment and hire staff. Additionally, the Eden City Council provided the company with temporary office and warehouse space.

Since opening its doors, LT Solutions has continued to grow. In 2010, the company was operating out of the Eden police department’s former facility and had four employees on staff. As the company secured new contracts for its line of textile products, it quickly outgrew the space. Eden city officials worked with the Leggetts to find another location to meet their needs and renovated a vacant, 6,000-square-foot building in downtown Eden to accommodate the ever-growing and expanding company. LT Solutions moved into the new location in 2011.

The Leggett brothers realized that the larger facility offered greater production capabilities that would allow them to diversify their products and further expand their market. They set their sights on a new line of products that would maximize the investment of materials, equipment, and labor already in place. They named the new product line White Wing Label.

El Paso County Residents Get Water Ser-vice for the First TimeThe Lower Valley Water District’s water system serves residents of Colonias del Paso and Ascencion in El Paso County, Texas. As soon as bids opened on the first phase of construction of the system, water district officials applied to USDA Rural Development for financing for a second phase of the project. The first phase completed the “backbone” for the water system — the booster pumps, 2 ground storage tanks, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system, and 193 water meters for residents of Colonia del Paso and Ascencion. However, other area fami-lies in Darrington, Dairyland, Vista Larga, and College Park were not reached by the system and were still paying extremely high prices to water haulers for deliveries of potable water.

USDA Rural Development provided the Lower Valley Water District with a grant for more than $2.8 million for a second phase of construction, the “Sandhills Water Improvement Project,” to extend water service to 171 more families.

The project consists of water distribution lines, gate valves, fire hydrants, service yard lines, and water meters for the 171 families. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Sandhills project in May 2013. Local residents were happy that the project was underway and that safe, clean drinking water would soon be available to them simply by turning on a faucet. The new distribution system for Darrington, Dairyland, Vista Larga, and College Park will improve the health and the quality of life of residents.

USDA Rural Development has previously provided the Lower Valley Water District with over $23 million in loans and grants to construct water and wastewater facilities in rural areas of El Paso County.

A loan specialist at the Bryan local office evaluated Lister’s case and determined that she could afford a new home. However, Lister had lived on the family property for many years, and it was the only place where she wanted to reside. Then another individual came forward with a legal claim to the same property and contested Lister’s ownership. She went to work to get clear title to the property. With help from her daughter, the title company, and 10 years of legal negotiations, she finally received the clear title she needed.After the title dispute was resolved, Lister con-tacted the Bryan office and staff worked with her again on her application for Single-Family Hous-ing Direct Loan assistance to construct a new home. Lister also contacted her builder, who had been holding on to her original construction plans since 2001.Lister, who is 76 years old, told USDA staff in Bry-an that she almost gave up because of the lengthy title dispute and her age. Now that she’s in her new home, she says that building the home has changed her life. Her message for others: “Never give up on your dreams and just keep working towards your goal — anything is possible.”

Through the White Wing Label, the company designs and manufactures new products for non-military customers such as business, sporting, and travel items, gifts, and accessories. The new line has enabled the company to enter into a new market. Today, as a result of the assistance from USDA and the Eden Economic Development Corporation, the company currently has 15 full-time employees. The Leggetts are also considering moving into a larger facility as the business continues its success.

“We view Eden as a place of growth with huge potential and will work to employ local residents and bring new people to Eden for employment,” said Blake Leggett, president and chief executive officer.

USDA Helps Homeowner Get New, Safe HousingIn 2001, Lola Lister of Bryan, TX, applied to USDA Rural Development for a loan to repair her manu-factured home that she had purchased in 1969. However, agency staff found it contained major health and safety hazards, including faulty elec-trical wiring and heating and cooling systems, a leaking roof, and poor plumbing. They deter-mined that the home was beyond repair.

he Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) is a nonprofit or-ganization in Hardwick, Vermont, that is dedicated to developing a diverse, community-based local

foods system to help area small farmers increase their revenue and help consumers have greater ac-cess to healthy foods.

In the last several years, USDA Rural Development has provided CAE with almost $700,000 in business grants to support the organization’s ongoing local foods projects.

In Fiscal Year 2013, USDA continued its support to CAE through a $142,000 Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) award. This program promotes development of small and emerging businesses in rural areas. The RBEG funds will be

used to provide local small farmers with access to light processing for their fruits and vegetables for year-round sale to small grocers, grocers' associations, co-ops, and distributors through the CAE Food Venture Center Food Hub project. The 2013 grant project builds on a pilot the center started in 2012. The project will assist 10 businesses and save 6 jobs.

One of the Food Venture Center’s latest projects is the Food Hub, which includes a food processing facility and kitchen incubator that are available for lease to clients that need the space for commercial food processing or preparation. Through the Food Hub, the center seeks to increase marketing and distribution of local foods in this agriculturally rich region of Vermont.

Waitsfield, Vermont, Receives New Water SystemFor years, community leaders in rural Waitsfield, Vermont, worked to develop a community water system to serve the two villages within Waits-

facility was designed to promote better collaboration and interaction between agencies.

The centralized campus for CVCAC in Barre, Vermont, was achieved through a partnership between USDA Rural Development and other Federal and local providers. Rural Development provided the majority of the funding for the project through a $2 million Community Facilities direct loan. The Department of Housing and Urban Development and local organizations, businesses, and residents provided the rest of the funds needed for construction.

CVCAC’s new campus opened in July 2013. Today, the council’s operations are more efficient, and it has benefited from decreased costs by bringing most of its programs and more than

field’s borders. Waitsfield is situated between an Interstate highway and several popular ski areas, and that made system infrastructure development difficult because of scattered overall development and sprawl. Development was also complicated by increased demand from residents and business-es for water and by health risks posed by many wells and septic systems that were too close to one another. With Rural Development’s help, Waits-field’s new water system was launched in 2012.

In 2013, Rural Development helped Waitsfield expand the system by providing the utility with a $200,000, low-interest loan. Funds will be used to extend the existing water main approximately 220 feet, bore water lines under a river, and connect the municipal system to existing service lines at the Eagles Resort, a local condominium association. Eagles Resort previously received public water through another system that began having problems providing adequate water supplies to customers and resorted to using an

emergency well, established without appropriate permits, to maintain its supply. Eagles Resort managers were forced to haul bulk water to the condominium’s storage tank to keep up with demand, costing the association thousands of dollars. The USDA funds will help ensure that residents will have access to a dependable supply of safe drinking water.

USDA Finances Community Action Agency’s New Campus

The Central Vermont Community Action Council (CVCAC) provides programs and services for low- to moderate-income Vermont families designed to reduce poverty and create prosperity. The council needed a facility to centralize services and improve communications between the agencies that work with CVCAC. Previously, CVCAC affiliate agencies such Head Start, Weatherization Services, Community Economic Development, Food Shelf, Family

Support Services, and Workforce Development were scattered across central Vermont. The distance between agencies often led to the duplication of services or gaps in services offered to clients. The new

half of its staff to one location. Most importantly, CVCAC’s clients are benefiting from the facility because multiple services are available in one place. For instance, there is a kitchen at the CVCAC campus and, in October 2013, students from the first “Kitchen Academy” course offered there graduated from class. The program, made available through a partnership with the Vermont Food Bank, trains students interested in culinary careers and supplies unused food items back to the food bank. The campus also includes a Resource Center — furnished with a library and computers — that is helping CVCAC clients find jobs, increase their financial and business skills, and continue pursuing other adult education options.
